Trout, can you answer this:

Answered. I know it's the Dunlop Qualifiers on the '09, but is the 2010 even out yet?
Probably the same tires....

Why do you ask?

 

Wonder what that makes my 150... maybe more like 130 At that speed I'm more focused ahead than down. I'll have to try that garmin trick.

However fast I was going it was more than enough and plenty left over

 

My kid needs tires on his 90 and the shop he can get to doesn't sell Metzelers. So I just figured that would be the easiest/quickest way to pick a tire that a Honda shop would have. I figure they should be pretty good.

Slightly back on topic:

Verizon has GPS on their phones and on one page it will tell you your actual speed. It's a few seconds behind, but it ought to work well at 60 or 80 if you can maintain a constant speed and have your reading glasses on.

 

House, I'm actually running the Dunlop Qualifiers on my 'Cane right now.

They warm up fast, they're real sticky, but the mileage isn't very good. I think maybe 5k or so and you'll be looking for new ones. I believe they're a single compound tire, and softer, so they tend to want to flat in the middle a bit.
I would ask them about the Battlax BT021. They may have that.
Or you could just ask them what they have in a dual compound sport tourer.
I'm currently running my bike at a constant lean to try and keep it from squaring off during my commute. It's quite a difficult thing to do....

 

I am running this tire & love the feel of it.

 

Trout's sitting sidesaddle to keep his tyre right........................
Well that's his story.............................

 

I got the BT021's on my F3 a couple months back and could not be happier. I was looking at PP2ct's but the guy who was mounting them for me told me that the center compound on the BT021's is closer to touring than the Pilot's and that the Pilot's were really a regular tire with racing compound closer to the lip.

Nothing but great things to say about my BT021's. They warm up just fine, corner well. I've got just about 2k on mine with 50/50 commuting and riding twisties out in BFE and they show no real signs of wear or a flat spot.



p.s. I'm lurking your section!! You guys have some of the damn funniest threads..

 

You have to be older to understand some of the old guys in the Saloon, I'm still trying to figure some of the talk here, especially when some of them type without their dentures in. Enjoy!
